FOSI Launches Teach Parents Tech Video Series

FOSI Launches Teach Parents Tech Video Series

Yesterday on the first day of the 2012 FOSI Annual
Conference, we launched Teach Parents Tech - an exciting new video
series for parents!

On A Platform for Good, FOSI's newest initiative, we polled
parents on their top technology concerns, and now the results are in.
The videos are based on what real parents told us they wanted to know
more about - from social media and apps to privacy settings.

The best part about these videos: the teens are the ones
doing the teaching. The videos feature teens talking to parents about
current technology topics and services.

But parents won't only be interacting with the teens
on-screen. Teach Parents Tech also gives them the opportunity to connect
with their own teens and other parents about what they've learned!

The feature allows parents to comment and discuss the
videos, share their knowledge on social media or via email, and have
conversations with their own teens about what they've seen. And, after
completing any one of these actions, parents will be able to award
themselves a virtual badge.
